In Chains

Going out the way I always do
Calling out your name
Trying not to hate myself
For getting in the middle
And shining every light upon it

Still I miss the way you'd hold me close in a cold wind
I caught you in our room staring at the light
I'd been up all night
Is this life and we're just living it?

Still I wanna celebrate our love
I've been rolling like a 16
I can die on the floor
I've been shackled and delivered
There's a girl out there with silence in her eyes
Her truth is in the dark

And I see you coming in view
Yeah, I need you
I'm coming in two
In view
Ain't no wind that I could feel in a fleeting rain
Turn around and rip my heart
Then look at it and say how you broke away
Ain't no way to elevate to another line
With nowhere to go
Ain't no chains to hold you in
To hold you to
To losing you

Hiding from an enemy
Something inside me died
Hard to see real clear these days
Darkness on my mind

As I stare into the air ocean floor
And I wonder where I once was
Was I falling through the air tonight?
Then crumble into your arms

Is this love?
Are you sure?
Is it something you can control?
I'm retired
I'm in chains
I'm in love
I'm in pain

All these changes everywhere
Just go ahead and take my hand
Hold me close, now let me go
Try and understand
I believe in all the power
In doing what we can do
We can try and learn to make it through
Then come out the other side

I don't see you at all coming in view
How do we decide what we can do?
I can't read your mind
Give me the truth
